Bonfire of the Absurdities in News New Format

AP headline says “Michelle Obama breaks jumping jacks record” – but that’s not what they mean

AP con job: headline says “Michelle Obama breaks jumping jacks record” – but it doesn’t mean what you think it means. Headline made us think she herself did a whole lotta jumping jacks, but the story reveals her “record” is for the most people doing jumping jacks in a 24-hour period. In other words, Moochie didn’t do squat besides have her staff send out emails hectoring people to do jumping jacks so she could get herself some cheap publicity. Con job.

I believe that she set her own personal jumping jacks record - that would be 3. On the ricter scale a 7.9, a 8.2 and a 9.7 (when she fell down).

This snide,sniveling,narcissitic,arrogant,opportunistic Piece Of Shit is probably laughing her FAT ASS off telling all her RACIST friends "see what I can get these simplistic sheep we call democrat voters to do." If this is really is true (and everything reported about the the obozos should be fact checked) then this country really has alot of STUPID PEOPLE in it.

I was excited, but then I noticed it was jumping jacks, not Apple Jacks.

Sounds about right for Obama-mama. She gets a whole slew of kids to do the work and she takes the credit. Just like hubby. Both would rather look good than be good.
